00:00who hasn't been fully fit to feature in their pre-season
00:03which so far for Alnasser has been a little underwhelming
00:07in terms of results at least
00:09Luis Castro is the first to admit that in a series of friendlies that they played
00:14in Spain and Portugal
00:16more successful for Al-Hilal
00:19in terms of the results was their trip to Austria but it's all been
00:22about fine-tuning preparations
00:25ahead of occasions such as this
00:27and then of course the start of the league season
00:30it's less than a week's time now
00:33so they were at stake before then
00:40Al-Hilal who get the action
00:43it'll be Salim Al-Dawsiri to take it and it's a pretty comfortable today
00:50missed opportunity for Michael to flash it in and it had to be dealt with and touched behind
00:56he was a real threat Michael in the semi-final
01:00has involved Stravich an obvious target only Cristiano Ronaldo scored more than him last season
01:07in the pro leagues Sergio Ramos the latest about the most high profile
01:11as that actually came all the way through to the keeper and it required a touch from Bento
01:15Alex Tellez had continued his run but he just runs out of ring
01:28frustrating Onassis first foray forward and the detriment of Onassis' challenge
01:35Michael helping this one on towards Salim Al-Dawsiri to try and win it back here
01:40and we'll turn it in towards Iaia
01:43Bonu got a glove on it appeals are ongoing as the keeper comes clear
01:47and tries actually to stop that the counter-attack you could see what he was trying
01:51Cristiano Ronaldo's complaints continue though
01:55they're not interested the officials Otavio did really well there
01:59oh that rotation probably going to be key
02:02different distance on the throw as well which is to try and keep the danger alive
02:08Alex Tellez his countryman up against him in delivery aim towards Ronaldo
02:14was only partially cleared there for Abdullah El-Khaibari
02:19through a posse of play as it came
02:21Mason he's got options either side here
02:24he's had to take the shot on himself and it spins away and out of play
02:27before it could reach Aymen Iaia but he'll get the corner
02:30Ronaldo's chance to be frustrated there
02:34I think it should have gone left to leading the delivery as well in that packed penalty area
02:39it's in towards Telizka helping it wider
02:43this is a strong run
02:45just maybe trying to take on one too many Salim Al-Dawsiri
02:50because he had other options in the middle
02:51yeah the change of pace was electric once he received it off Neves
02:55for both of these clubs the promise may be of more new names to arrive before the
03:02looks they are queuing up to try and get on the end off Alex Tellez will take it
03:07towards Garib who had to work to reach it but he did
03:11and will reap some reward by winning the corner
03:15just posing a few more problems I think with that movement
03:19rotation Ronaldo finding himself wide on the left hand side
03:22it's pretty even bit cagey
03:24come on they gave that one away to Michael
03:27it's just taken off his tazit once more
03:29trying to pull the strings here
03:32Telizka in dangerously towards Ronaldo acrobatic clearance was an important one
03:39Jeet
03:41looking for Adiame today as that one thrashes in off the post and
03:44it's scrambled away it's not going to count or it wouldn't have counted
03:48but hearts were in mouths for a moment with Mitrovic in there
03:52yeah he went really early here
03:55Dawsiri once more
03:57plenty queuing up in the middle
03:59Mitrovic he gets something on it this is Michael
04:02and he improvised in trying to tee that one up from Milinkovic
04:05Savic Malcolm baffling for it
04:10breathless passage of play well then
04:11most decisive meeting between them
04:13that's the first in the league last season that 3-0 Al-Hilal win and they're advancing again
04:18he's capable of getting decent distance on these throws that's a case in point in towards Koulibaly
04:24and he's still going here Garib did really well in towards Ronaldo to get the touch
04:30and late in the first half Al Nasser in front in the supercut
04:37business as usual in front of goal for Cristiano Ronaldo
04:40but the substitute Abdulrahman Garib receives his share of the acclaim from his teammates as well
04:46for the part that he played in the creation of the opening goal
04:50well you can see what it means to everyone and huge credit I think to Garib who
04:55when there's been so many misplaced passes in this first half
04:59especially towards the tail end he's the one that's been up to speed and the one that's looked sharp
05:03and got to grips with the game he's afforded a nice little bit of space that said
05:08look at the fullback there he gives him acres Abdulrahman
05:13Al Nasser we're gonna get over the line here
05:15as Michael flashing in who was trying and it's a good way to ball as well with Garib giving chase
05:23for Al-Hilal to sustain some early second half pressure Ruben Neves with the corner
05:29ahead of Alec Abdullah on Kaibari Michael's done well to get away from him and he was able to
05:34pick the pass for Hassan Al-Tabakti the centre-back had located a little bit of space in an otherwise
05:39congested penalty area but couldn't see it and he's got a chance to get it back
05:44congested penalty area but couldn't find the finish yeah brilliant Malcolm
05:49and floats it in towards Mitrovic making a nuisance of himself in between the two defenders
05:54just did enough to deny him a little influence that he would have hoped for yet
06:03up from the back Tesker and Ronaldo targets as well for Garib
06:08it's the case Sadio Mane at the other end
06:15and he had stayed with him he did get one at the under 20 world cup some
06:21five and a bit year he just getting a little bit more the ball
06:24Savic gets it back from Mitrovic and watches his way through to score the equalizing goal
06:33Al-Hilal back on terms at 1-1
06:38after that super link up between the Serbians Mitrovic played his part Malenkovic Savic
06:45did the rest and some and we're all square in the super cup final
06:52well it's a breathtakingly good finish i'll say that first and Malenkovic Savic has been the one
06:58that's been joining in from midfield trying to make it into the 18-yard box and it's his drive
07:06that gets the equalizer and after the initial few touches your willingness to end up in the
07:12back of the net that is brilliant driving the barley had stayed forward puts it on
07:18for Michael to try and bring it down to national got players back can't prevent the cross from
07:23coming in although Mitrovic did get on the end of it there was precious little room for him to
07:29attack it really brilliant play this is Garib it's a good ball into his path Taliska and Mane
07:38in the middle the fence coming under more sustained pressure now though
07:43Leves with the cross Mitrovic rising and getting a touch to it to turn this around
07:49the responsive champions in the second half from Al-Hilal to ensure that further
07:59self-aware is within their reach now
08:06Alexander Mitrovic once more in the right place and Al-Hilal once more exerting their authority
08:14over their great Riyadh rivals well we've seen some good deliveries in this second half and this
08:20is just exquisite from Leves because it takes the goalkeeper out of the game he just comes wandering
08:26comes looking for it almost the goalkeeper and no
08:31that's well worked that was cut back by Malcom for Mitrovic and that might just do it
08:36he's got himself another one this time made by Malcom Mitrovic scores two in quick succession
08:47and Al-Hilal racing clear in this super cup final racing towards more familiar silverware
08:58but they're just getting ahead of themselves down there so they're getting
09:02too many bodies forward in search of what was an equalizer and look at Tellez for example just
09:08near post it's a heavy touch it could be a gift of a goal it is nightmare moment for Bento and
09:15it's all going wrong for Luis Castro and El Nacer 4-1 now and that really surely has settled the issue
09:28and the Brazilian brought in this summer will not want to see this again
09:35he's been put under pressure he's been too much on his goal in this second half but that's all
09:40of his own doing Malcom gets himself the easiest of goals center half split it's just a heavy touch
09:49off the right foot and then he's scrambling to recover he's a little bit rushed away he goes in
09:53Malcom
